FAQs
Why should I have my air ducts cleaned by Certified Techs Heating & Air Conditioning in Athens?
Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, and other contaminants accumulate in your ductwork. In Athens’ warm, humid climate, this buildup can foster mold growth and circulate allergens every time your HVAC system runs. Our NADCA-compliant technicians use commercial-grade HEPA vacuums and negative-pressure containment to remove debris safely, improving indoor air quality, helping your HVAC system run more efficiently, and potentially lowering energy bills.
How often do experts recommend duct cleaning for homes and businesses in Athens?
Most industry guidelines suggest cleaning every 3–5 years, but Athens residents may benefit from a shorter interval because of high pollen counts in spring, elevated humidity in summer, and frequent HVAC use year-round. You should also schedule a cleaning sooner if you’ve recently renovated, noticed visible mold inside ducts, discovered pest infestations, or observed excessive dust build-up around supply registers.
What is included in your professional duct-cleaning service?
Our service is turnkey: 1. Pre-inspection with video imaging to document duct conditions. 2. Protection of flooring and furnishings with drop cloths and register seals. 3. Creation of negative pressure in the duct system using a truck-mounted HEPA vacuum. 4. Agitation of debris with rotary brushes, compressed-air whips, and skipper balls. 5. Source removal of contaminants, followed by an optional EPA-approved antimicrobial treatment if microbial growth is present. 6. Post-cleaning video verification and a written report. 7. Final system performance check to ensure proper airflow before we leave.
Will duct cleaning damage my HVAC system or void my warranty?
No. When performed by our certified professionals, duct cleaning is non-invasive and fully compatible with manufacturer warranties. We access ducts through existing service openings or create small code-compliant ports that are sealed air-tight afterward. All equipment is designed specifically for HVAC systems, and we never use harsh chemicals that could corrode metal or harm flexible duct liners.
How long does a typical duct-cleaning appointment take for an average Athens home?
For a single-zone, 2,000-square-foot residence, plan on 2–4 hours. Larger homes, multiple HVAC zones, or commercial properties can take half a day or more. We schedule appointments at your convenience, and because we use negative-pressure containment, you can remain in the building during the process with minimal disruption.
What will duct cleaning cost, and do you offer any specials for Athens customers?
Pricing is based on the number of supply and return vents, system accessibility, and the presence of contaminant issues such as mold. A typical Athens home ranges from $400–$650, which includes all labor, equipment, and disposal fees; there are no hidden charges. We frequently run seasonal promotions—such as 10 % off spring cleanings—and provide multi-service discounts when you bundle duct cleaning with HVAC maintenance or dryer-vent cleaning. Free on-site estimates are always available.
